Quote:I wasn't all that impressed with the job Munchak did as head coach with Tennessee. But he's not going to be head coach at Houston. You compare how good Munchak was as OL coach of Tennessee when he held that position only, since thats the position he will have in Houston. And if you remember, Munchak was an outstanding OL coach for the Titans, developing both Michael Roos and that other PB level Tackle back in the mid 2000's and generally overseeing one of the perennial top OL's in the game over the decade, more or less. 

 

I agree with you that Mike Munchak did a very good job as Tennessee O-Line Coach and likely would do the same for any team he ends up with in that role,  providing the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator are in sync with Munchak.

 

When a Head Coach gets fired,  a question that immediately comes to mind,  at least for me,  is what could have the HC done better during his HC stint with the team?   In the case of Mike Munchak,  he was fired because he refused to get rid of 4 assistant coaches he believed did a good job.   When looking at Tennessee's talent,  which lacks enough differential players, and their problematic QB situation,  I'm not sure what he could have done to get better results.     Having said that,  I'm far from certain Munchak would be a highly successful HC if given another opportunity.    While I strongly believe giving Gary Kubiak another HC opportunity in the NFL would be a mistake,  with Munchak I don't have a strong opinion either way.    It wouldn't surprise me if Munchak turns out to be the type of HC that finishes between 10-6 and 6-10 in his vast majority of seasons.
